Title:
Printing Existing PDF
Hi All,
We have a requirement from a client to produce a report from VFP6 that prints details from a DBF and also to print product specification details that are held in a separate pdf file for each product.
1. Is it possible to combine the PDF contents into a VFP report by storing the PDF in a general field in the DBF and pinting the general field? I played around with this and couldn't get this to work though I could with a Word document.
2. How can I print a PDF file from within VFP? Shellexcute(..)???
3. Are there any third party tools that would allow me to create the VFP report as a PDF, append the existing specifications PDF to the PDF I created, and then print the combined PDF?
I have looked at MindsEye and XFRX both of which allow me to create a PDF but I could not see how to append an existing PDF.
Any suggestions or advice most gratefully received,
Andy
